Microsoft: In pursuit of Nokia?

This whisper started in 2012 that Microsoft is all set to buy Nokia and then due to some reason decided against it. New year (2013) is giving a lot of strength to this whisper and it seems that IT giant is in the thought of buying once a leader of mobile manufacturing company, which is struggling at this point of time.

The timing of acquiring Nokia can't be better than this because, Windows-8, the recently launched OS from Microsoft is creating a lot of buzz and it seems people are liking the feel of it on mobile handsets too. Nokia is struggling in handset market but still commands a good market share. Apple's Iphone 5 are getting mixed reviews, hence there is a place for being a contender who can challenge the growing popularity of Android and Microsoft with its new launch can very well occupy that place.

The question that would rake the mind of analyst this year could be "Will Windows Phone 8 do better, if Microsoft acquires Nokia?" Only future can tell.
